closed Mexico 20 Pesos 1919 – Original Veinte Pesos! – Lovely Example – UK 🇬🇧

[DuncanWylieWilson]

AUCTION! 🔨

🦅🐍🇲🇽 Up for auction here is a gorgeous Mexico 20 Pesos 1919 🇲🇽🐍🦅

Unlike the frequently observed 1959 pieces, this coin is one of the originals and not a later restrike. While boasting the same Aztec calendar, "Piedra del Sol", design on the reverse, this coin was struck in 1919 to a mintage of around 1.1 million. The Numista frequency (defined below) for this 1919 coin, however, is only 8% versus the substantially higher percentage of 54% for the 1959 restike coins.

'Frequencies show the percentage of Numista users who own each year or variety among all the users who own this coin. Since some users own several versions, the sum may be greater than 100%.'

An attractive, collectible example with only minor drawbacks. Small edge ding but otherwise very appealing in form. A respectable lustre adorns the obverse and reverse alike. Well-struck and sharp.

Note that this coin is comprised of 16.666 grams of .900 gold, so the pure gold content in this coin is almost exactly 15 grams. The melt value as of 5 PM on Tuesday, 1 August 2023 is £736.

Start me at £800 and bid in sensible increments.

This auction will end at 2000 hours (8 PM) sharp on Saturday, 5 August. 

The final highest bid is the winning one. Bid must be stamped 2000 hours (8 PM) at the latest. Bids stamped 2001 hours (8:01 PM) will be invalid.

Fully-insured Royal Mail Special Delivery to mainland UK is included in the final bid price.

N.B. I will not be engaging in semantics regarding seconds and differences of opinion on auction formats. This is my auction and the rules are very clear, so no Karens or Kens please.

Payment via bank transfer to UK business bank account.

Thank you! ⭐️

Good luck with the auction - you do get some marvellous pieces in.

I was the same, happy with mine but can't believe no one has gone in for it yet.

To many want very nice coins at spot prices.

Come on people if you have not got one of these bid for it and believe me you will be very happy with it.

They’re very popular coins indeed, and this certainly has the date on its side.

The start price is the lowest I will take for it on here. I have zero issues selling elsewhere for more, but I’d like to offer here on TSF a couple of auctions and sales now and then.

Nice to show it off regardless. 👍🏻🌟
